Information

Interesting facts about eclipses:

  • Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth’s surface. However, since the Moon is approximately 400 times smaller than the Sun, it must be at just the right distance from the Earth to block it completely.
  • During a total solar eclipse, the sky can become very dark and the temperature can drop significantly. Birds and other animals may become confused and behave as if it were nighttime.
  • Solar eclipses have been used to test Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which predicts that the gravitational pull of massive objects like the Sun can bend space and time.
  • During a total solar eclipse, the corona (the Sun’s outer atmosphere) is visible as a halo of light around the Moon. This is the only time the corona can be seen from Earth without the use of special equipment.
